A chef who connects worlds – with lemongrass and Slovenian beef
Florijan Virant is a chef unafraid of crossing boundaries—be they geographical or culinary. His style is best described as Asian fusion, but that’s only the beginning. In the kitchen of Shambala Restaurant, he works with the highest-quality local and international ingredients, from Fonda’s sea bass to Šebenik microgreens, which he transforms into unexpected creations.
A dish he’s been preparing for fifteen years—and never grown tired of. A refined cut of meat, elevated with Asian notes, it embodies everything Florijan loves about cooking: a harmony between strength and subtlety.
An ingredient that connects worlds. From classic European techniques to bold Asian experiments, butter remains a constant—bringing depth, texture, and a touch of comfort to every dish.
Florijan loves to challenge taste expectations: white polenta infused with tea, curries made from fresh house-made pastes, and marinades with butter and lemongrass, all crafted with the precision of sous-vide. Every sauce, paste, and marinade is made in-house, as he firmly believes in the power of freshness and hand-crafted quality. His favorite dish—Black Angus steak marinated in lemongrass—speaks volumes: after fifteen years, he still prepares and enjoys it with passion. His favorite ingredient? Butter—because with it, cooking is never boring.
»There are no borders—only taste.«
Behind every plate lies more than just flavor—it’s a philosophy. Florijan wants to offer guests something new: an unforgettable experience that either takes them on a culinary journey or encourages them to try something entirely unfamiliar. His curiosity and openness to the world merge with his creative spirit. The kitchen is not just a place of work, but a space of exploration, expression, and inspiration. In his free time, he delves into new flavors and seeks unexpected ways to connect worlds—on the plate and in the mind.
His approach? “There are no borders—only taste.”
